    Sharks do not eat people. Sharks do not attack people unless by mistake. You are safe from sharks.

    Sharks result in at most 8 human fatalities per year. Humans kill 100,000,000+ Sharks per year.

      There’s no way humans kill 100 million sharks a year. How many sharks are there?

        According to the scientific journal Marine Policy Volume 40 the number could be closer to 273 Million per year or possibly lower than that estimate, but it’s definitely a lot of fucking sharks.

        To put things into perspective, they’re the Apex Predators of the Oceans which are about 70% of the earth’s surface, so it makes sense if there are a lot of sharks.
